"I just made a $100 bet that Star Trek will make more than Wolverine."


  

          

I should've raised the price.

And I like comic heroes more than Star Trek in general, btw. I just think Trek will be better reviewed, have better legs, and easily be the bigger hit.

I dunno. I mean, in theory I agree.... but I still feel like the words STAR and TREK will keep enough people away to give Wolvie the edge.

What I'm tryin' to say is... I can see it making more money, but not enough to drop a Bengie on. lol

I think the mediocrity of X3 and just the over-expanding of the franchise will kill the demand for Wolverine more than anything. that's weird to say when comparing to star trek but trek is starting over again and is already getting much better reviews.

As popular as Wolverine is he does not have the following of Star Trek. Not to mention I think Star Trek looks like the better movie.

It is possible Wolverine has the bigger opening weekend. But Trek will have the legs.

Those flicks don't gross that much. THis one will be totally different I'm sure, but...

• "Star Trek: First Contact"-- $146 million.
• "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"--$139 million.
• "Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home"--$133 million.
• "Star Trek Generations"--$120 million.
• "Star Trek: Insurrection"--$118 million.
• "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan"--$97 million.
• "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"--$96.9 million.
• "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock"--$87 million.
• "Star Trek Nemesis"--$67 million.
• "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier"--$63 million.

The first X MEN flick out grossed the two highest grossing Trek flicks combined with $296.3 million. X2? $407.7 mil. Even shitty ass 3? $459.3 mil.

I think the new Trek will still beat Wolvie... but as I said, I ain't puttin' a hundo down on it.

In response to Reply # 12


  

          

Especially the ones done in the '80s, where ticket price were considerably lower. I think maybe one or two Star Trek movies have come out since the first X-Men flick.

X-Men: The Last Stand: $256,904,198


Star Trek: The Motion Picture: $113,446,793

In response to Reply # 0


          

as said above, never underestimate the power of Star Trek. The previews have looked great and it is getting much better reviews than Wolverine.

Throw in the fact it is somewhat of a reboot so you don't have to be a hardcore Star Trek fan to know what is going on should bring some people in. I think the positive word of mouth is going to drive this movie much higher than people are anticipating.

...I get the feeling Star Trek will be much more of a hit than Wolverine. You KNOW how dedicated those Trekkies are plus it looks like it will be the better flick out of the two. Is it me or do those Wolverine previews seem too lighthearted? They should've kept that movie grimy like it was intended to be.

Also, am I the only one who has ever felt that Hugh Jackman should've never been picked to play Wolverine? I've always felt casting should've picked someone who had a grimier feel to play that role.

But this shit looks GOOD

I almost don't feel like I'm *allowed* to get hype for it though, on account of having virtually nothing to do with the franchise up until now.

But the buzz is strong from both trekkies and non trekkies, so I'm thinking this could be the big hit of the summer

OR you're in trouble. However, I saw Wolverine. Sadly that movie doesn't have much legs. I'm a huge Wolvie fan and would not have seen this movie if I weren't. Like others have said in this post I'm no Trekkie or Trekker but I'm still seeing this movie.

last couple of Star Trek movies didn't fair that well, especially since Shatner isn't in this one. Most Trekkies are very faithful to that original cast and this is some prequel shit that may not go over well with them. Others will see it out of curiosity, me I'll wait till it hits blockbuster.

In response to Reply # 43


  

          

it's a great franchise with a loyal legion of fans, but for the past decade or so, Paramount has been woefully underserving them.

Somebody has taken up the franchise mantle and prettied it up.

I haven't even really watched any Star Trek since Deep Space 9, but I, and a bunch of my friends, are going to be at the front of the line on Friday to see this one. I *want* to love outer space adventure stories, but this franchise hasn't given me a reason to be excited about them until I heard about this film. Shit, even Star Wars managed to completely piss off their fanbase. People are DYING to see a good space adventure, it's been a while. Shatner's involvement would hinder more than help this film.

Oh, and, meanwhile comic book fans have been getting the best comic films of their lives recently (X-Men films, Iron Man, Nolan Batman films (although, yes, I personally hated them), even Watchmen, and Sin City, and 300). The bar has been raised, and Wolvy seems to be indicating that the comic film market is a little saturated.

and there's a slew of credible critics who have already submitted their reviews on there. Granted that will drop, but I haven't hear a single remotely negative thing about Star Trek.

Majority of American males over the age of 26 have a "working knowledge" of Star Trek.

We know who Spock is...Kirk, Scotty, Bones, "Baby Sowff Thighs" Uhura...we know.

We seen "Wrath of Khan" growing up...we KNOW. Trek is pretty much an institution.

Prequels already hold a certain lore...a degree of curiosity.

Match that with Trek, and I think we have, as Longo says, a movie with some legs.

Uhura legs.

Will I be there drooling on opening night? No, but I'll be there...just so I can be a "fly on the wall" when Kirk and Spock meet.

....that the new Trek film will have better legs than Wolverine. I am hoping that Wolverine shows a 60% drop this weekend. If it does, I'll feel pretty good, especially if Star Trek actually makes it to 75 mil.

If they're looking for that, they're gonna want Wolverine. But if women are actually enjoying this, plus the good word of mouth from non-Trekkies, it's easily gonna beat Wolverine. I've heard one 'it was pretty good' about Wolverine so far, and everything else has been, 'it's disappointing' to 'it's pretty bad.'

in the long run i think ST will EASILY make more because its the better movie. i haven't heard one good thing about Wolvie from any of my friends that saw it. Exact opposite of the new ST movie.

Looks like it'll make 76 million in the opening weekend (adding in the 4 million from Thursday) but Wolverine just dropped a reported 68% so the bet is still looking good.

i'd just show him this weeks box office estimates and let him try and figure that out for himself.

oh, and if you'd like you can tell him how it did it on less screens.

and about $30M ahead of "wolverine."

i figure it won't last: "harry potter", "transformers", and "ice age 3" will probably out-gross it. but as a trekker, damn, it's AMAZING to see "star trek" do these kind of numbers!
